Anglican Peace and Justice Network - Mission Statement

Our Aims:

  • To assist the Communion in seeing the centrality of justice and peace to the mission of the Church
  • To lift up and champion the role of women, young people, indigenous communities and other marginalized groups to have full voice and representation in the official councils of the Church as a matter of justice
  • To provide a venue for Anglican provinces to bring forward issues of justice and peace in their local context giving them access to the wider Anglican Communion for partnership and joint witness
  • To provide resources for the whole Church to enable local Provinces, dioceses and congregations to educate and advocate for global reconciliation
  • To advocate human rights (especially for women and children), environmental justice and peacemaking to the Anglican Communion, civil society and governments wherever there are injustices
